Lesson 1
How to Complete the Course Each lesson includes exercise descriptions and short instructional videos that we recommend watching before coming to the pool. You will also find a main video lesson that you can follow in the water together with your baby by placing your phone on the poolside and playing the video. Each final lesson video includes exercises from the previous lesson along with new exercises. By progressing through all lessons and stages of the course, both you and your baby will develop muscle memory while gradually increasing the amount of time spent in the water. This step-by-step approach helps build confidence, consistency, and comfort in the aquatic environment.

Lesson 2
This practical lesson includes a review section from Lesson 1, as well as the new exercises introduced in Lesson 2. All upcoming lessons will follow the same structure. This approach will help both you and your baby master the material, develop muscle memory, and gradually increase your time in the pool up to 40 minutes. By consistently reviewing previous exercises while introducing new ones, learning becomes more effective, comfortable, and enjoyable for both parent and child.

Diving

Step 3 “First dive”

Every third movement the baby makes a touch of water with his/her ear, then gently place the baby on his/her stomach and dive under the water with his/her face only. Make sure that after touching the water with the ear the baby turns over on his/her belly with his/her head down. You can correct the entry into the water with your hands. If you do not respect the horizontal position of the body when turning to dive, the child will raise his head upwards and the water will fall into the nose. Your task is to do each approach with the correct technique. A child holds his breath when he touches the ear of water and feels the same as when pouring water on his face. Keep it cyclical for every 3 -movements and allow time to take a full breath before the next repetition.

And 3 key points that we pay attention to:

activating the breath hold (a bright breath after washing)

body language -body quite relaxed

neutral -positive emotions

If one of these points is not made we do not go further, and continue to practice. If emotions are negative, you go back to the previous step 2.

!!! We do not practice diving if the baby is crying, and we do not dive against his/her will. The only thing the child will remember is the emotion of the action, not the result.
